I just had to post this because oh my oh my. As they say at the end of this Body Cam Leak video about Florida – “Go on Vacation / Leave on Probation”! First a quick overview.
In this case it is a Virgin cruise line that is impacted by this thief. She, allegedly per the video, used a stolen credit card to pay for the cruise. As shocking as it sounds there are in fact a number of cruise lines that let you pay for a cruise with a card that is not in your name. In fact many cruise lines promote others buying you “gifts” to use onboard in the form of onboard credits or drink package and so on.
Now in addition to paying for the cruise with another stolen card the perp also went ahead and booked some shore excursion before the cruise with the plan to cancel them once she got onboard and then have them pay her CASH BACK since she did not take them. This is also a common practice – not the theft part – but a line paying you cash back if you do not take the booked excision.
To put the icing on the cake in this viral video that was just posted a few days ago is that she also was trying to use a fake ID to board the ship. Criminals are never smart but there is simply no way this was ever gonna float. Take a look at the video:
Bless her heart as she does try to lie her way out of this but there is simply no way to justify any of the things she did and trying to tell the cops “I didn’t do noth’in“!
To end it all the poor policeman is approached by the Virgin staff with another “sailor” i.e. the term they use for passengers (why do this when talking to the police) and that one had tried to bring marijuana onboard and seemed to be surprised this too was a problem!
Just amazing and crazy! – René
